Scope1.1 This standard covers guidelines for ordering and exam-ining tubular products for sanitary applications by video

3、bore-scoping. This method uses movable camera probe at the end ofa cable to examine the interior of a tubular product. The imageis then transmitted to an external monitor for analysis. Themethod is normally used when inside surface imperfections,not normally detected by other nondestructive methods,

The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1

Significance and Use5.1 This specification establishes some the key factorswhich govern the interpretation of videoborescoping tub

18、ularproducts for a specific application. It is recognized that therequirements for one application may be very different thanthose of another. Therefore, the specification allows for theinspection to be customized for the application by the user byallowing the purchaser to specify parameters which m

19、ay beimportant for the application.6. Acceptance Criteria6.1 The purpose of this inspection is to identify imperfec-tions on the ID surface of the tube which may be detrimentalto the end use. These imperfections could have a variety ofshapes, sizes and causes which may or may not have impact onthe f

20、inal use. The criteria should include a reference to thetypes of imperfections which are considered detrimental. Thesemay include, but are not limited to, the following:6.1.1 Nicks,6.1.2 Scratches or other linear imperfections,6.1.3 Pits,6.1.4 Inclusions,6.1.5 Slag pockets,6.1.6 Starbursts,6.1.7 Shr

21、inkage,6.1.8 Oxide,6.1.9 Other weld imperfections.6.2 Each imperfection shall be ranked by size. The criteriashould include a listing of how many imperfections of a typeand size are allowed per tube. It may include a listing whichallows more, smaller imperfections of a type or fewer largeones. It ma

22、y also include a maximum size which is allowed.The criteria may also define whether imperfections maycontain deposits or not.6.2.1 When properly calibrated, the length and width of theimperfection can be determined.6.2.2 Imperfection depth is difficult to determine by thistechnique. When depth is a

23、necessary part of the criteria, arepresentative sample should be agreed upon by the purchaserand supplier based upon the video image. This sample can thenbe sectioned and the depth measured by an alternative method.6.3 Unless otherwise specified by the purchaser, the produc-ers published acceptance

24、criteria shall be used. When nocriteria exists, the acceptance criteria shall be negotiated priorto the start of testing.7. Calibration7.1 When imperfection sizing is part of the criteria, thevideoborescope shall be calibrated prior to the examination.The following items affect sizing of imperfectio

25、ns for aparticular unit:7.1.1 Probe to surface distance. As the distance from theprobe tip to the examined surface decreases, the magnificationfactor increases.7.1.1.1 This distance shall be carefully controlled. This canbe accomplished by fitting a collar to the tip of the probe whichfits snugly in

26、to the inside diameter of the tube. The collar shallalso have enough clearance to slide freely inside of the tubeand be made of a material which will not cause additionalunacceptable imperfections on the ID surface. The collar shallhave sufficient length to prevent rocking of the probe whichmay hind

27、er defect sizing.7.1.2 Probe type,7.1.3 Probe lens,7.1.4 Display CRT. As the display screen increases, so doesthe magnification.7.2 If any of the above four items, or any other factor whichmay affect magnification, is changed, the unit shall be recali-brated.7.3 Calibration shall be performed using

28、standards traceableto known National Standards, where they exist. Precision steelscales with 0.020 in. (0.5 mm) or liner graduations may be usedfor this calibration providing that the spacing between theprobe tip and scale is controlled to be the same as probe tip andexamined surface distance.8. Met

29、hod of Scanning8.1 The method and coverage of scanning, and care shall berelated to the criticality of the application (See Notes 1-3).NOTE 1Scanning is usually considered as a sampling technique as theinside surface coverage is often less than 100 %. As the amount of surfacearea per tube to be scan

30、ned increases, so does the potential for detectingan increasing number of imperfections. Therefore, as the amount ofinspected surface area increases, so should the number of imperfections inthe acceptance criteria for a tube of the same quality level.NOTE 2The videoborescoping technique is considere

31、d to be arelatively slow and expensive examination method. When deciding upona scanning coverage and rate, the purchaser should recognize that highercoverages and slower path rates can increase the time of examination. Thiscan have a significant impact on the overall time to perform the task andincr

32、ease the cost. The purchaser should consider this when deciding uponthese items.NOTE 3When surface finish may be critical to an application, such asthose which use an electropolished finish, the user needs to choosecoatings for the probe which do not damage the surface during theexamination.8.1.1 Wh

33、en a welded product is examined, unless otherwisespecified by the purchaser, the examination shall be along theweld seam only.8.1.2 The purchaser may specify if the examination path islinear or helical.8.1.3 When desired, the purchaser may specify the maxi-mum scanning rate which may be used. This i

34、s usuallyexpressed as a tubular length per minute.9. Recordings9.1 When specified by the purchaser, recordings shall bemade of the tube inspection. These are usually in the standardVHS format. The purchaser may specify if the recordings areto be from every tube or per a sample plan.A1015 01 (2018)29

35、.2 When traceability between tube and recording isrequired, the supplier shall provide a method to identify eachtube to the recording. If special information is to be identifiedon these recordings, the purchaser shall include this in thepurchase order.9.3 If defect sizing is utilized for acceptance

36、of the tube, thesupplier shall identify the size of the video monitor used duringthe inspection.10. Inspection10.1 The inspector representing the purchaser shall haveentry, at all times, to those areas where the inspection is beingperformed. The supplier shall afford the inspector all reason-able fa

37、cilities to satisfy him that the material is being examinedin accordance with this specification. The inspection shall beconducted so as not to interfere unnecessarily with the exami-nation.11. Certification11.1 When required by the purchaser, the supplier shallfurnish a statement that the material

38、has been examined and hasmet all of the requirements of this specification and thecustomer purchase order.12.
